Well, it wasn't the sweatshirt. Got bait before light and set up just north of the bridge at dawn with alewives and moneymakers on long freelined boards. It wasn't but a couple minutes and I was netting a 36.75" from a gizzard. Within about 30 minutes I had 3 others around 28-30" plus an 18" largemouth all from gizzards. Then they got funny and started just nosing and slapping the baits for almost 2 hours before I gave up on them, but not before I added another 21" bass. I tried everything I could think of, they just wouldn't eat it. Scouted around for pods of fish for a while after that but never found any, so I went crappie fishing.

Water was clear and 63.
Weather was cloudy, fair breeze and 58-60 degrees.

I wouldn't take it any farther!

How was the crappie bite?
Thanks

There's no telling what the bad juju was about. Haha.

Hotdog, I just posted the crappie report. In short, they were biting!

Nice fish! I would have been trying to stretch another 1/4" somehow.
